工作四天还是五天的问题

Q22:
An overwhelming proportion of the most productive employees at SaleCo’s regional offices work not eight hours a day, five days a week, as do other SaleCo employees, but rather ten hours a day, four days a week, with Friday off.Noting this phenomenon, SaleCo’s president plans to increase overall productivity by keeping the offices closed on Fridays and having all employees work the same schedule—ten hours a day, four days a week.


Which of the following, if true, provides the most reason to doubt that the president’s plan, if implemented, will achieve its stated purpose?

1. Every employee of SaleCo who has been there for at least a year is entitled to three weeks of vacation each year and must be paid his or her regular salary for that time off.
   
2. None of the employees who work four days a week had volunteered to work that schedule, but all were assigned to it by their supervisors.
   
3. Working ten hours a day has allowed the most productive employees to work two hours alone each day in their respective offices relatively undisturbed by fellow employees.
   
4. Employees at SaleCo are compensated not on the basis of how many hours a week they work but on the basis of how productive they are during the hours they are at work.
   
5. Some of SaleCo’s employees have indicated to company officials that they would quit if not allowed to work the same hours as the company’s most productive employees.
   
   D 也挺沾边的呀~~~！！！？？？

C is the right answer. If C is true, the most productive workers would be less productive under the new plan.

D would not have any impact on the new plan as it only touches on COMPENSATION, not PRODUCTIVITY. Just by rearranging working schedules does not entice workers to be more productive simply based on the compensation policy.
